6th Grade Tech Project



Was working in 6th grade today on a project and couldn't resist taking a picture of these three adorable 6th grade girls.  Unlike me, they prefer to sit on stools in the corner of the room with their laptops - well on their laps!  I prefer a good old fashioned table and chair with a back myself.  By the way in case you're interested.  They are working on a family album.  Their 6th Grade literature teacher told them to interview members of their family and bring in pictures and write up any interesting stories they learned.  I was blessed to hear some of the stories.  Even though their parents are young, they interviewed their grandparents who told stories about THEIR parents.  Many were immigrants and they told were heartwarming stories.  Some were just funny about going fishing and falling in a pond.  Each student was so proud to tell their stories.  The stories were done in Publisher but I converted two of them to PDFs.  The first link is one where the student scanned pictures of his family and included them in his Family Stories Album.  The 2nd link is a student who had great stories but did not bring pictures.  For those students we told them to find royalty-free pictures that related to the stories he was telling.  As you can see both did a great job.  Enjoy!
